The same Sunderland you finished below?
The media claim so. If it's true, then this story is horseshite, or we have already gotten a confirmation from the next owner(s) to spend cash.
Richards is an upgrade for us I feel, but I don't really rate him. Guess that means we really have become turd the last 4 years.
I more likely scenario in my eyes is that he was offered a deal from both us and you, for say around £ 40 k - and he chose us. Firstly he is a Villa fan (I think) and he has family in the area. Secondly, well, you're Sunderland.
Correct. You need to work on your banter though, a tad too realistic and boring.
Utter bollocks but so glad we won't end up with this fella. Good player some time back, where have we seen that before??????
Heard someone on skysports today say that Richards would like to go to a club who will play him centre back.
He's a shite centre back. Positionally thick as fuck and if he's a replacement for Vlaar then villa haven't improved.
That, along with them wages and the risk involved due to his injury record, I'm glad Villa are signing him.
Would've had him as a right back on less than 50k a week.
Are you believing the article like??And again, if we were in for him how does that reflect on the Sporting Director of our club?
I don't consider him a loss and to be quite honest I'm not particularly perturbed that he has chosen another club. Patience and good fortune will prevail.
No way a 'personal intervention' by Sherwood would get anyone to sign either
65k a week is a steel. He will be immediately worth around £4m under contract anyway. Annoyed we missed out here.
In terms of numbers it's not that bad. It's probably around the equivalent of paying £ 6-7 mill for a right back at £ 30 k a week.
It's a pretty solid sign we are about to be taken over by new investors though. Why on earth would we spend the last 4-5 years selling every single quality player we have each season, restructure the wage system, spend fuck all money, to start again with 65 k a week on MicahfuckingRichards. Something doesn't add up.
